I can finally clean his teeth! - YorkieTalk.com Forums

I wanted to share that I found a great way to clean Chase's teeth. When we brought him home at four months he was good about using the toothbrush every night. I guess as he got a couple of months older he realized he could refuse this routine. It's been a real struggle to brush his teeth. I read something that someone posted a few weeks ago about dental wipes and decided to give them a try. I bought D.D.S. dental wipes....90 circular pads at Pet Goods and Chase actually likes it! I wrap it around my finger and massage his gums and teeth. It's so much easier on both of us!

Thanks for the info I will try these on Tippy. My husband and I try to brush her teeth he holds and I brush she weighs 3 lbs and the two of us cannot brush her teeth maybe these wipes are the answer. Thanks again.

Happy to help. By the way, the first time I let Chase sniff and try to eat the pad and only used it for a few seconds. I gradually increased the time and four days later I am able to clean all his teeth.

I wonder if we can get them here in the UK. Molly desperately needs her teeth cleaned, but as soon as the brush goes in her mouth, she chews on it!!
Im just off to have a look on ebay!
